Description: Ms. Baez's most successful album, artistically and commercially...and she recorded it on her own terms and direction. The material she chose to cover includes songs originally by Jackson Browne, Stevie Wonder, her forever love Bob Dylan and The Allman Brothers. But it was the t... |
 | Joan Baez - Greatest Hits [Read More ...]
Description: Before Joan Baez, the closest thing to a white female folksinger was Jo Stafford. Baez made her professional debut in 1959 at the Newport Folk Festival and started recording for Vanguard the next year. Her early association with Bob Dylan and performances of his songs did him no ... |
 | The First 10 Years [Read More ...]
Description: She had the public persona of a saint, and a face and voice that captured all the idealism, innocence, and optimism of the '60s folk revival. She wasn't the movement's greatest talent, but her work helped shape all women balladeers who followed. Baez's best youthful work is here... |

Review: Christmas Cheer throughout the Year...:This is not an album to enjoy only during the holiday season. It is an album to enjoy anytime you want to hear the exceptional voice of Joan Baez. Although "Very Early Joan" is my favorite, I find myself selecting this album just to hear J... |

Recovering the past.:It was refreshing to hear again one of the great voices of the protest era! The recordings were of excellent quality. |
 | Joan Baez [Read More ...]
Description: History's ear hasn't been kind to Joan Baez: in retrospect, set against the traditional voices whose material she interpreted, her own versions seem painfully pretty, her soprano icy and removed. But it's hard to gauge now the force of her first record, a folk-revival landmar... |

The Best:This was the best thing I ordered (Ever). Her voice, her music brings you back to another time. Thank you. |
 | Joan Baez in Concert, Pt. 1 [Read More ...]
Review: Immaculately beautiful:Joan Baez' third album "In Concert Part One" remains the quintessential album of the 1960s folk revival and stands on its own as a remarkably beautiful piece of music. Although recorded in the 1960s, its atmosphere is surprisingly dark and haunting througho... |
 | Rare, Live & Classic [Read More ...]
Description: This is a big ol' box of Baez; certainly more than any casual fan would need. The hits are here ("Diamonds and Rust," "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down"), along with a treasure trove of rare duets (with Kris Kristofferson, Bob Gibson, Donovan, and others) and previously unrele... |

Review: An absolute gem from the 1970s:This disc arrived in the mail today. As I listened to it, I couldn't believe that I didn't buy it years ago. This is a GREAT Joan Baez album.
I owned it on vinyl. This was recorded and released in 1977, Joan's first album for Portrait Records. I... |
 | Any Day Now [Read More ...]
Description: Joan Baez beat Bob Dylan to folk stardom, but she soon became one his biggest supporters, key interpreters, and briefly his lover. Any Day Now finds her playing all three roles; supporting, interpreting, and loving a disc full of his songs. Many of the more curious numbers ("The ... |

Long time favorite:This is an album that I have listened to for years. I bought the LP in the late 70's, the cassette in the 80's on and now I needed the CD. |
 | Very Early Joan [Read More ...]
Review: Good stuff, poor sound quality:I have been a Joan Baez fan since I was a child. Her early works are especially appealing because her young voice was so perfectly sweet, high and clear.
HOWEVER, that said, this is not a great recording. The cuts are pretty much unedited. There is... |
 | Gracias a la Vida [Read More ...]
Description: The title translates as "Here's To Life" and the song it comes from was written by famed Chilean songwriter Violeta Parra. This album includes songs from the Chilean "New Song" movement of the 1970's (when it was recorded) as well as traditional Mexican ballads. It is also one of... |
 | Vanguard Sessions: Baez Sings Dylan [Read More ...]
Description: Joan Baez isn't the best interpreter of Bob Dylan's songs (Nina Simone and the Byrds come to mind). She has, however, been one of his most unwavering partisans. Indeed, the queen of JFK-era folkies first recorded Dylan songs in 1963 when she was the more celebrated of the two and... |
 | Noël [Read More ...]
Description: In her early days Joan Baez's beautiful soprano rang like a bell, so it's no surprise that it's the perfect instrument for a set of ancient carols and Christmas favorites. Arranger Peter Schickele (of Public Radio International's Schickele Mix and P.D.Q. Bach fame) wisely sets Ba... |

Review: Joan at her best:I have to tell you, if you are looking for the best Joan Baez ever had to offer early on, then this is the album for you. Everything, up to and including 'Nu Bello Cardillo, which is, by the way sung in dialectical Italian, probably Siciliano, and NOT Portuguese... |
